DOS is still used in a lot of industrial kit ...When all you want is to

There is evidence that Linux itself is getting bloated, and in need of 
the same 'back to basics' approach that Linus dud 30 years ago.

There is certainly space for something like FreeRTOS to make headway in 
the embedded space.

But the thing is, again from my perspective, as a user, not a developer 
of operating systems, is that what you want - and IBM, Red Hat etc 
understand this - is a reliable secure bug free platform on which to 
write applications that is easily ported to whatever hardware is available.

And in that context 30 years of development beats a new kid on the block 
every day.
The reason we don't like Windows is because it costs money at every 
turn, and is there to screw the last red cent out of its users. A new 
windows would flop. Indeed the old windows is flopping.

It shows all the characteristics  of a cash cow company - everything is 
monetized.

Linux is like C. It has its issues, but everyone understands them 
everyone can program in it and it works well enough. And it doesn't need 
licenses to be paid to use it.

And sometimes its easier to fix bugs in it than to  rewrite it in Rust etc.
